Checkmarx is constantly pushing the boundaries of Application Security Testing to make security seamless and simple for the world’s developers and security teams. As the AppSec testing leader, we deliver the unparalleled accuracy, coverage, visibility, and guidance our customers need to build tomorrow’s software securely and at speed.

The recent Future of AppSec report from Checkmarx highlighted the growing gap between AI-fueled development and application security. Findings include:
- 81% knowingly ship vulnerable code to meet deadlines.
- 54% of code is now AI-generated; but only 18% have governance policies in place.
 
The gap that now exists is in danger of becoming a chasm. The use of AI in development is almost certain to rise further, including the move towards vibe coding. The threat landscape is likely to continue expanding.
- How can we hang on to the benefits of AI while managing its vulnerabilities?
- How secure is AI generated code?
- How can we bring security up to speed?
 
These are the questions we will answer at this panel discussion featuring some of the sharpest minds in the industry. We’ll be covering the big issues facing many security leaders right now and providing practical advice for thriving in the era of Agentic AI. Topics will include:
- Why AI redefines “secure coding skills” for developers.
- AI governance that doesn’t kill innovation.
- Perception gaps between CISOs and AppSec teams.
- The ways AI can support AppSec.

Intro to Checkmarx One: The AppSec Platform for the AI Era

Modern application development is heavily reliant on containers and their usefulness is undeniable. But containers also create unique security concerns, including hidden layers where threats can hide from the eye of traditional scans. 

Get smart with your use of containers and understand the real threats you face with practical advice on how to deal with them.  

You’ll learn about: 
- Why scanning source code isn’t enough. 
- The hidden threats of base images. 
- How misconfigurations expose risk. 
- Why waiting for runtime is too late.

Secure Early, Ship Fast: Smarter Container Security

How secure is AI-generated code and what new risks does it introduce? Find out in the session where an AI-built application is live tested by Checkmarx experts.

AI-assisted development is a major boost to productivity. But research from Google DORA and the Checkmarx Future of AppSec report highlights its instability and security threats.

In this unique session you’ll see the application scanned with both the Checkmarx One AppSec Platform and the Checkmarx One Assist Agentic AI platform. Vulnerabilities will be revealed, and real-world security validations will be demonstrated.

GenAI Code Under the Microscope

Bringing security and development teams together is the goal of many organizations.  But it requires a cultural change that takes time to develop. Meanwhile, AI is having a major impact on AppSec, both for good and bad. How are these two themes connected? 

Find out in this inspiring webinar featuring the acknowledged expert in the field. Patrick Debois is a true pillar of the DevOps Community whose current focus is on GenAI’s connection to DevSecOps. In this conversation, he guides you through the issues and points the way forward, including:

Using Security to Speed up Development

DevOps was always meant to include security, but in reality, the cultures didn’t align—leaving many organizations without a mature DevSecOps strategy. So how do you complete the DevSecOps journey? 

Join Techstrong and Checkmarx for DevSecOps: Cracking the Code, a new webinar series packed with expert insights and actionable advice to help you successfully evolve from DevOps to DevSecOps.

Cracking the Code: How do you complete the DevSecOps journey?

DevOps thrives on speed, innovation, and continuous delivery, while security operates on principles of caution, risk mitigation, and compliance. Too often, these priorities create friction instead of synergy, making the transition to DevSecOps challenging. But security should not be a bottleneck—it should be an enabler. Achieving this requires more than just implementing security tools; it demands a shift in culture toward trust, collaboration, and shared accountability. In this live panel discussion, industry experts will explore how organizations can bridge the gap between DevOps and security, transforming security from an afterthought into an integrated, seamless part of the development process.
Join us as we bring together a panel of experts to share real-world experiences, insights, and strategies for building a DevSecTrust mindset—where security and speed go hand in hand.

From Silos to Synergy Aligning DevOps & Security Mindsets

Developers now hold greater influence over tooling and implementation decisions. Greater autonomy has furthered the DevSec divide and challenged CISOs to adapt their leadership style.

This webinar looks at how CISOs can bring developers and security together to reduce risk, increase efficiency, and embrace this transformation by redefining their role:

- Balance control over your security strategy and tool acquisition in a new era of distributed authority.
- Evolve your role to integrate security and business goals while enabling developer autonomy, resulting in the release of secure, working software.
- Align development and security priorities to reduce risks, improve efficiency, and position security as a business enabler.
